Cites Issues
In Election
No Speculation
On McCarthyism
PHILAEDELPHIA - (P) - Ad-
lai E. Stevenson flew into towr
yesterday for a rally of Easterr
states Democrats that will stress
pocketbook problems and forecast
the 1954 outlook for the party as
"fair and warmer."
The man who won the Demo-
cratic presidential nomination last
year but lost out in the election,
sized up the major issues for the
1954 Congressional elections as
foreign trade, foreign policy, tax-
ation and farm policy.
DEMOCRATIC National Chair-
man Stephen A. Mitchell told re-
porters the emphasis here will be
on high living. costh. They have
climbed in recent months to suc-
cessive all-time peaks.
The big 11-state rally gets for-
mally under way today. The cli-
max is a banquet and a Steven-
son speech at 11 p.m. today over
nationwide radio and television
networks.
Stevenson didn't reply directly
when a cluster of reporters at the
Philadelphia airport asked him
whether he might "find a few
shortcomings in the Eisenhower
Administration" in his address.
"At least I didn't bring any mud
with me," he remarked. "As a
fellow said out in my state, 'He
who slings mud generally loses
ground'."
* * *
WOULD he dally on Sen. Mc-
Carthy (R-Wis.) whose investiga-
tions of subversives and split with
the Administration on some phases
of foreign policy are cores of con-
troversy?
Well, Stevenson said, he might
"advert to the general situa-
tion."
Did he think "McCarthyism"
would be a 1954 issue?
"I can't speculate on that,"
the former Illinois governor re-
plied.
"President Eisenhower says it
will mean nothing. The Senator
says it will mean everything. They
must know more about it than I
do," he said.
Asked about Eisenhower's pro-
posal before the United Nations
this week for international pool-
ing of atomic materials, Stevenson
said he wasn't surprised that the
Russian reaction was disdain and
distrust.
He said he still was hopeful
Russia might come around to a
better attitude, but he couldn't
be too optimistic in thinking Rus-
sia actually will work for peace.

Outstanding Residence Halls Debts

Are today's dormitory residents over-paying for board and room
so that future residents won't have to pay their way?
What about quad food? How much does it cost and is it worth
the price?
What will the University's residence halls system be like in
the next few years? Will there be more "South Quads?" What are
the prospects for future rent increases?

THESE ARE SOME of the big questions men and women who
live in residence halls are wondering about. They all add up to the one

Draft Quota
Set To Drop
In February
Figure Lowest
Since June, 1952
WASHINGTON-(R)-The draft
call for February will drop to
18,000, the lowest monthly figure
since June 1952, Secretary of De-
fense Wilson said yesterday.
Draft calls have been running
at a monthly rate of 23,000 since
July. Last February selective ser-
vice inducted 53,000 young men
into the Army.
WILSON disclosed the February
1954 figure at an airport news con-
ference just before leaving for
Paris, where he will attend next
week's session of the North At-
lantic Treaty Council.
He told reporters he didn't
think there would be any more
reductions in draft calls, and he
said he did not see how the draft
or some equivalent method of re-
cruiting soldiers, could be drop-
ped as long as the present tense
international situation exists, or
in the "foreseeable future."
Defense experts predict that
draft calls will soar to 50,000 or
60,000 a month after next July.

Favors 'U'
Driving Bant
By MURRY FRYMER
The City Council is opposed to
lifting the University driving ban,
Council Chairman George W. Sal-
lade told a television audience last
night in a press interview.
"Dropping the ban would bring
an increase in cars, in the traffic
problem and the safety problems,"
Sallade said. "We're not gray-
bearded old men, but we feel that
lifting the ban would multiply our
problems many fold."

SALLADE and Mayor William B.'
Brown, Jr. answered questions of
four journalism students, Kath-
leen Baker, '55, Duane Poole. '55,
Jack Neal, '54, and Carl Zimmer-
man, Grad., concerning present
city problems.
Mayor Brown commented en-
thusiastically on the new May-
nard Street carport. "We were
scared to death about its suc-
cess," said the Mayor, "but the
result is much better than any
of us ever expected. It's unus-
ually designed, in fact, I don't
think there's anything quite like
it in the nation.,
Mayor Brown said that the
$422,000 structure, housing 422,
cars, parked over 900 cars last
Friday.
The mayor went on to outline his
new 10-year plan to provide new
parking space in the city. Includ-
ing the addition of two floors to
the Maynard Street carport, the
program calls for increasing the
capacity of the downtown carport
and lots at Main and Williams and
on Forest.
AN ADVISORY proposition to
be placed onthe ballot in the next
election concerning the building
of a new city hall was also dis-
cussed by the Mayor.
Voters will be asked to help
answer two current questions, al-
though the City Council will not
definitely have to abide by the
vote. The two questions are
whether or not to build a new
city hall and' whether to us an
E. Ann Street location for it.
"I'm a great believer in letting
the public decide," said Mayor
Brown. "I feel that this location
is the best one, since it is now a
dangerous location for homes. I
also believe that it will entail no
increase in taxes."
The show was aired over WPAG-
TV from their studio in the base-
ment of Angell Hall.
With the Inter-House Council
about to embark on the biggest
job of its history-the "Opera-
tion Inquiry" evaluation of the
men's residence halls-these
questions are especially on peo-
ple's minds, although the inquiry
won't concern itself with purely
financial problems.
Answering the question of fi-
nancing requires a look at how the
University's multi-million dollar
residence hall's financing pro-
gram works.
Federal grants paid 45 per
cent of the cost of building all
the dormitories constructed be-
tween 1938 and 1940-Stock-
well, Victor Vaughan, West Quad
and East Quad.
But most of the funds which
built today's residence halls came
from tax-exempt revenue bonds on
previously-built dormitories. The
University hasn't gotten a cent
from the State for building or op-
erating the residence halls.
* * *
A TOTAL of nearly 13.5 million
dollars of these University revenue
bonds are still outstanding today.
So each of the 5315 men and
women living in the residence
halls today must pay roughly
$140 a year-about one-fifth of
an individual's total dormitory
bill-toward paying off the res-
idence halls debt.
The history of the debt is a
complicated series of issues and
re-issues of bonds, beginning in;
1930 with the. construction of Mo-
sher-Jordan Halls.
Basically, what happened was
that the University needed money
to build new dormitories, so it is-

ICERS PILE UP AT GOAL AT LAST NIGHT'S GAME
PRESIDENT Eisenhower tight-
ened selective service regulations
yesterday to eliminate the possibil-
ity of "a small number of persons"
being able to satisfy legal require-
ments with as little as one day of
active service. -I
The revised regulations require'
a minimum service of six months.
Under the old rules, regular
draft registrants who began ac-
tive duty in the armed forces
after June 24, 1948, became eli-
gible-if separated from service
after honorable active duty of
one day or more-for class 1C
and were not subject to classi-
fication as available for further
military duty.
Under the new regulations, such1
registrants will be classified 1C
only if they were separated from
active duty after honorable ser-
vice of six months or more.

The prisoners refused to budge.

THIMAYYA, chairman of the

camp to talk with the balky South

The Allies had asked to see 30
South Koreans.

American explainer was not pre-
sent yesterday. Allied officers
would not comment on his absence.

WHETHER the explanations
could get going again by switching
from balky South Koreans to the
Americans remained to be deter-
mined.
Thursday 25 South Koreans,
taking their cue from the Com-

face interviewers unless they
could make time-consuming
"counter-explanations." i
If the South Kbreans continue
to resist, the UN Command con-
ceivably could switch to the 22
Americans and a Briton. These
men have indicated they would
face explainers but that they want
the right to fire a barrage of ques-
tions at the interviewers.
